[Feature Request] Add Type Hints (stubs)

[jd-solanki]

As people are preferring Type Hints and mypy is getting more popularity and as a developer, I also like Type hints. So, if there's will be type hinted library like this. It will be awesome 🤩

Current situation:

I endorse this request. Also, I was surprised to see faker is explicitly marked as typed even though it doesn't have very many type annotations.

Edit: @Tenzer pointed me at #1334 (comment) which answers my question.

I wold love for Faker to have type hints, but I don't have time to dedicate to it.

If anybody can work on a Pull Request, I'll be happy to review it :)

I started adding typing annotations some time ago. I have a WIP on my fork: https://github.com/nicarl/faker/tree/add_type_annotations_for_providers
Any help and input to push this forward is appreciated :-)
